Jonathan Lynas, who did not die this week, is an individual of no particular repute who has the potential to live an interesting and profoundly beautiful life, marked by strong and loyal friendships, resolve in the face of difficulty and the occasional ability to make words sing.
An intensely reserved individual, Lynas has spent most of his twenties struggling to come to terms with the difficulties inherent in his personality, and his mounting frustration as these flaws have held him back from fully interacting with the world around him. As he continues to mature, he will be less hamstrung by the painful – at times almost comical – lack of self confidence he currently has to fight tooth and claw against. He will eventually meet success in the difficult and sometimes seemingly overwhelming challenges he currently faces. There’s an outside chance he might even come to some kind of conclusion as to what the fuck life is meant to be all about, anyway.
His life will be marked by laughter and music. Possessed of a strong desire to seek out ways of being a blessing to the people around him, he will continually strive to get better at life and to wring the most from it, both for himself and everyone else. He will remember to enjoy himself.
He will be survived by any number of friends and family, the identities of many of which are as yet unknown or even unborn (but will be an adventure to find out). He intends to die smiling, as the bell tolls in his ears and he listens out for a voice that whispers “well done”
J.P. Lynas, human being, currently very much alive at the age of 29.
